The new Horseshoe Casino will likely get the dimensions it wanted after no one showed up at Monday's public meeting to fight them.

The 80-foot sign will be lit 24 hours a day alongside Interstate 71 near downtown.

There had been concerns that it would blight the view from western Mount Adams, but no opponents showed up to speak against the sign as proposed.

"I think most reasonable people would say that this sign makes sense, and I don't know that you can even see it from Over-the-Rhine because of where it's positioned at the casino site and how low it is," said City Councilman Chris Seelbach.

The developer wants the sign to be visible and identifiable from the interstate, and they plan a design specific to Cincinnati.

Developers assured city officials the LED illumination accentuates the sign's color without pushing out the light.

City Council unanimously approved the sign, which will go up before the casino opens next spring. A final binding vote is scheduled for Friday.
